DETAIL IN CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Description

Detailing makes a landscape unique and a landscape architect outstanding. Featuring many of the world’s most highly acclaimed landscape architects, this book presents 40 of the most recently completed and influential landscape designs. Each project is presented with colour photographs, site plans and sections, as well as numerous construction details, descriptive text and detailed captions. Each project is presented in a clear and concise layout over four pages. All commissioned especially for this book, the drawings are styled in a consistent manner and presented at standard architectural scales for easy comparison. Intended for architects, engineers and landscape architects, the book will also be invaluable for architecture, garden and landscape design students, for whom it will be a resource not only for understanding the work of the best contemporary landscape architects, but also as a tool for their own design work.
